Giuseppe Iannotti was born in 1982 in Telese Terme. He attended secondary school liceo scientifico and for this reason he decidedto study computer engineering at the università but in 2007 he decided to interrupt his university career to follow his passion and open a restaurant in Castelvenere, which was already named “Krésios”. Soon after he also opened an emporium with gastronomic specialities which were chosen very carefully by Iannotti himself. In 2011 these two projects came together and became a family farm the current Krésios, a gourmet restaurant which also has a few fancy rooms. In the interview you will discover how carefully and with how much passion the raw ingredients are treated, studied and transformed into elaborate and unique dishes. The chef illustrates hi point of view about the Mediterranean Diet, the territoriality, the seasonality and the freshness of the ingredients;Moreover, for the chef it’s really important to keep his memories of his italian family cousine intact and we can see it in one of the most wall-know dishes of his restaurant,the pastina al formaggino.
